Interview with Guy and Kindar McNamee | 2019 Youth Boulder Nationals
For anyone who climbs indoors these days, it is very apparent that the new generation of climbers are getting stronger. No exception to this rule is the Hive Bouldering Gym‘s youth team. Aptly names The Swarm, this youth team is a regular force in the gym.
A big part of the Swarm team are Guy and Kindar McNamee. Born in Haiti and living in Vancouver since the age of two, Guy and Kindar are identical twins. They have been climbing since they were nine years of age. Now, at the age of sixteen, both of these competitors are starting to come into their own and are already a force to be reckoned with.

We had a chance to catch up with Guy and Kindar before they departed to Montreal for the 2019 Youth Boulder Nationals and here is what they said.
